FADER/MoMA PS1 Warm Up Mix: Teengirl Fantasy

Every Saturday every summer, MoMA PS1 presents Warm Up, a event series taking place in their enormous courtyard. The museum—MoMA’s longstanding sister site in Long Island City, Queens—is a lightning rod for new and exciting artists, and each week’s performers inhabit a similar space in the music world. To ensure a great, current and diverse schedule, the lineup—with oversight from MoMA PS1 director Klaus Biesenbach and organized by MoMA PS1 curatorial assistant Eliza Ryan—is selected by a team of heavy hitters: Dean Bein, head of True Panther Sounds; Kris Chen, head of A & R at XL Recordings; Robin Carolan, head of Tri Angle Records; Jonathan Galkin, co-founder of DFA Records; Brandon Stosuy, editor at Pitchfork and contributing editor for The Believer; and Matt Werth, label head of RVNG Intl. Every week throughout the summer, as a warm up to Warm Up, FADER and MoMA PS1 will be posting an exclusive mix from one of the artists performing. This week, it’s Teengirl Fantasy. For this TGIF offering, Nick Weiss and Logan Takahashi let Lil Jon toast the mix over gentle percussion and run a river sound through a steady stream of hypnotic house. JoJo seals the deal. Download the mix below and see Teengirl Fantasy live, along with Tanlines, Nguzunguzu, Sun Araw and Physical Therapy this Saturday at PS1.
